The usage of reconfigurable systems is of increasingly interest for space and avionic applications. In the present work we propose an implementation flow for hardening Dynamically Reconfigurable Processing Module (DRPM) Systems implemented on modern SRAM-based FPGAs. We also report neutron radiation testing campaigns when the system is implemented on Xilinx Virtex-4 and Virtex-5 SRAM-based FPGAs. Experimental results performed by heavy-ions radiation experiments and fault injection campaigns demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
